STRATHAM — Dylan Aviles had just about forgotten that he’d participated in a Reading Superstar challenge with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

It wasn’t until the 9-year-old’s parents received an email saying he’d been selected as one of five national first-prize winners of the contest that he realized he was going to attend one of the most celebrated annual conferences with some of his favorite superstars: WrestleMania 29.

“I thought it was spam,” his mother said of the email. But when she called the phone number, she said, she was greeted with a surprise on the other end of the line hearing, “Hello, this is WWE headquarters.”

He’ll not only get to watch WrestleMania 29, but meet all his favorite wrestlers in person.

His all-expense paid trip comes with $300 to spend while he’s at WrestleMania with his father, Ian. The two will leave Friday afternoon from Manchester and spend the weekend at the Sheraton New York, where they’ll mingle with other readers and wrestlers alike.

Dylan said he’s most excited to meet Chris Jericho, The Miz, and The Rock.

“Almost everybody, really,” he said.

Dylan said he’s been to wrestling matches before, like Monday Night RAW, a show he watches every week. His grandfather, attorney Robert Fisher, is also a huge wrestling fan, as is his father, Ian; mother, Jodi; and brothers, Cameron, 5, and Elijah, 14.

“It was my father who got them into wrestling,” Jodi said. Her three sons have something they each enjoy talking about with their grandfather, she said.

In addition to a giant Rubbermaid box full of wrestler figurines, a video game he was playing when Foster’s Daily Democrat arrived, and wrestling magazines, Dylan is also the proud owner of many autographs, a collection he’s hoping to add to this weekend.

He’ll take with him his “wrestling kit,” consisting of a notebook, posters, magazines and more on his trip.

“I want to get the autographs,” he said.

He’s also planning on making a sign so his two brothers can find him in the crowd with his name and an arrow.

For the reading, he downloaded three books to his mother’s Nook e-reader and was automatically entered into the contest upon completion.

“It’s awesome because he really did put in the work and read the books,” his mother said.

Dylan said he has lots of friends at Stratham Memorial School who are a little jealous of his weekend trip.

Though the contest wasn’t necessarily through his school, his mother credits his third-grade teacher with instilling a love to read.

And though they’re technically not allowed to practice wrestling moves, Dylan’s mother said it’s easy to hear the young voices of amateur ring announcers in the yard when Dylan and his friends or brothers are playing together.

“They do definitely practice moves on each other, and with friends,” his mother said.

You can look for Dylan by watching WrestleMania Sunday night on Pay-Per-View at 6:30 p.m. He’ll be holding a sign reading, “DYLAN.”
